Why don’t you write more, Toni?

I thought that some of you may be wondering why I don’t update my blog more often – at least daily, or every other day….so I thought I would explain, just in case you were interested.

You see, I love to write. I could actually spend hours writing everyday and be perfectly happy. However, I know that when I sit down at this computer, I need to plan to be here a while becauseI like to write. So, although I intend to update this blog more frequently (my goal is daily), there is a distinct possibility that many of those will be scheduled posts.

That said, there is one more reason I don’t post more often – and this one is the real doozie: I’m waiting for God. You see, God holds us all to extremely high standards, but when we start teaching, or leading, or giving advice based on Biblical principles, we BETTER be doing it right. If we knowingly lead someone astray, we are in BIGtrouble. And, I believe that if we lead someone astray simply because we have failed to do our own homework – aka, laziness – we are likewise in some serious hot water. So, as you can see, this is a situation where I want to be sure I stay out of the hot water…..I’m hot-natured as it is….don’t need any help….LOL.

So, I wait for God to lay something on my heart strongly before I write it out for you to read. In fact, right now, I have a post that I started at least 3 weeks ago, and haven’t finished because I don’t feel its what God wants me to write just yet. Mind you, I believe someone should, but right now, He doesn’t intend for that to be me. I’m sure sometimes I miss the boat – I’m sure there are times when the Lord wants to tell you something through me (and I say that in humility) that I just somehow miss (READ: don’t listen) His voice telling me to write it.

I do plan to update this (HIS) blog more frequently – and I hope that in the meantime you’ll stay on as a faithful reader. I have some big goals for this site, and one of those is to have a book written by mid-year! I’m going to need your help!

Also, Cindy Rushtonannounced that she would be issuing a challenge sometime in the near future to her readers who are also writers: the 30-Day Challenge to write an article for their blog everyday for 30 days. This is something I also plan to accomplish – so, with God’s Grace, for at least one month my blog will be updated daily! I’d like to ask for your prayers for this though, as I want to do this to please God, and write about the subject He chooses – not me.

So, I said all that to say, I’ve missed you guys! (Wait, I am NOT a Yankee! LOL – j/k to all from north of the Mason Dixon line….sort of…lol) Let’s try that again – I missed y’all! (Now that’s Texan!) See you again soon!

And, um….where are all who took up the Bible Reading Challenge???? I know you’re out there……we can’t give up already! Tomorrow is a great day to catch up! Go to the last reading schedule post and leave a comment about this week’s readings…..we’re waiting to hear what you think!
